Chronic Fatigue and Exhaustion
Persistent tiredness and exhaustion can have a significant impact on everyday life. It can impact work, relationships, concentration, physical activity and quality of life.
People can experience fatigue in different ways. Some may feel tired throughout the day, while others notice that their energy levels fluctuate or that their symptoms are more noticeable at particular times.
Understanding Persistent Fatigue
There are many possible reasons for ongoing tiredness, ranging from lifestyle factors such as sleep, diet and activity levels to stress, medication, infections and a range of medical conditions.
Because persistent or unexplained fatigue can have many potential causes, it is important not to assume that there is a single explanation. If fatigue is new, persistent, worsening or significantly affecting your daily life, we recommend discussing your symptoms with your GP or another appropriately qualified healthcare professional. They can assess your symptoms and determine whether further investigation is appropriate.

Alternative Wellbeing Services
At The Boughton Clinic, our consultations provide an opportunity to discuss your individual experiences, daily routines and general wellbeing. Where appropriate, we can explore practical lifestyle and wellbeing considerations that may complement the advice you receive from your healthcare professionals.
Our approach is collaborative, with clients encouraged to consider manageable changes that fit their circumstances and wellbeing goals.
Complementary wellbeing support is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure an underlying medical condition, and should not replace medical assessment or prescribed treatment.
When to Seek Medical Advice
If you are experiencing unexplained or persistent fatigue, particularly if it is affecting your ability to carry out normal activities, speak with your GP.
Seek appropriate medical advice promptly if fatigue occurs alongside other concerning or unexplained symptoms.
What is bio-energetic stress screening?
The Asyra Pro is a non-invasive system that records changes in skin resistance while a person holds two hand probes. The system compares these responses with a range of digital test signatures and provides information that can be discussed with a practitioner. According to the manufacturer, the Asyra Pro is not a diagnostic device, meaning its results should not be used on their own to diagnose chronic fatigue, ME/CFS, nutritional deficiencies or any other medical condition.

We view bio-energetic screening as a complementary wellness tool that can form part of a wider conversation about how you are feeling and the factors that may be relevant to your individual circumstances.
How can Asyra screening support a fatigue consultation?
Persistent fatigue can have many possible causes, and everyone’s experience is different. During a consultation, we can discuss your symptoms, lifestyle, sleep patterns, nutrition, stress levels and general wellbeing. An Asyra screening can then provide an additional source of information for that discussion.
The purpose is not to claim that the screening can identify a single underlying cause of fatigue. Rather, the results can help structure a personalised conversation and may highlight areas that you and your practitioner wish to explore further as part of your complementary wellbeing plan.
The Asyra Pro is quick and non-invasive, with the manufacturer stating that a comprehensive analysis can be completed in less than five minutes. (Asyra) This allows the screening to be incorporated into a consultation without requiring extensive preparation.
A complementary approach to chronic fatigue
Bio-energetic stress screening should complement (rather than replace) appropriate medical care. Persistent or unexplained fatigue can sometimes be associated with an underlying medical condition, so it is important to speak with your GP or another appropriately qualified healthcare professional where medical assessment is required.
At The Boughton Clinic, our approach is centred on listening to your individual experience and considering additional wellbeing strategies that are appropriate for you. Asyra screening is one optional tool within that process, rather than a diagnostic test or substitute for conventional healthcare.
